*The Princess whispers to herself*
Protectors or prison guards? Who can tell the difference?
*She looks at the old man*
I think compassion is more important than self-preservation... and what is there in my life that is worth protecting?
*She glances at Vortigern and begins to cry unexpectedly*
I have nobody, nobody I can trust. The one person I thought loved me was using me to gain power... I have nothing...

*Vortigern opens his arms to the Princess and then crosses them*.
You had a choice.... You made yours, I've made mine, I've chosen to stay. You must have great value to me Princess.... I've done my time with these kind of people.... I swore that I'd never ride alongside soldiers again...
*He smiles and shakes his head*.
But here I find myself, serving with these Kanaran invaders....

Thank you, I like a fish supper, although don't take too kindly to being taken prisoner.... Or threatened with murder.
*Skyce shakes his head*.
Kanarans in our land... I'd heard the rumours, but didn't want to believe it.
*He looks sad*.
I have no quarrel. One army is much like another. Just so many wars fought and now as a poor old man I have to bear witness to yet another.... Such a sad thing...

*Vortigern grins*.
Don't worry, whoever wins will make no difference to the poor or ordinary citizens such as yourself, you'll always be poor no matter who runs Grimney.

I'm sorry they took you prisoner. But I shall see you are well treated and released soon. The Kanarans are like any other humans. War is a terrible thing... but I have hope this will be the last and the poor will find themselves raised up. That is my father's intention at least. He wants to end corruption and make life better for all Grimnians. He is a royal revolutionary.
*She looks at Vortigern and walks over to him. Philomena speaks to him in a low voice.*
I have no choice... why can't you see that? If I did surely you know I would not choose this life... you know I would choose...
*The mermaid sighs and gives a faint smile*
I am amazed you stay by my side... but I am glad you do. Loyalty is not your strong suit so I know what I mean to you.
*She moves close to him and gently traces her fingertips across his cheek and lips. The mermaid looks at him with tenderness for the first time since their row.*
What would I do without your friendship? I am sorry we argued. Are we friends once more? Don't stay with me but close your heart to me. That would hurt more than if you left me.

We're always more than friends... And they'll not make a better place for us... These Kanarans would see you without me.....
*He looks up at the soldiers who have gathered around a small fire*.
Their loyalty is bought, there's no price on mine.... I'll stay by you until I die.... I might as well die for you than for nothing at all....
*He smiles*.
Let's go sit by the fire it's the only warmth we're allowed to share together..... And you can have cold fish Princess.....

Yes... and tomorrow I will be back with Darl.
*She sighs*
And when this war is over, Darl will take me with him to Kanara and you will be unable to stay by my side.
*The mermaid looks at the stars*
I wonder what Kalvos would say if he was alive now?

If that boy was alive, he'd probably have to think for himself. Not that he'd ever be like me.
*Vortigern shakes his head*.
Kalvos was a starry eyed dreamer...
*He chuckles*.
I used to watch him. He spent more time handling a quill than a sword. That's why he's dead Princess. Grimney is about the art of war.... Not about poetry... Words don't win battles..

*Hours pass and the soldiers gather around the camp fire chatting in low voices. Vortigern talks quietly to Skyce, Krogue and the Princess, whilst the krog tends to the wounded*.

*The mermaid sighs*
Yes... Kalvos was a dreamer. I think sometimes he dreamed so much he was afraid to make things real. Even when the path to our marriage was cleared, he preferred to dream of our marriage rather than marry me. Perhaps the dream of me is better than the real me.
*She looks at the wedding ring on her finger*
If you do not seize your dreams at once, they slip away. At least Darl is a man of action I suppose.
*Philomena turns her head as she hears a small groan from Regar.*
He is waking. I must be by his side when he wakes, it will bring him comfort.
*She hurries over to Regar*
